在拍卖会上一掷百万美元是什么体验？年轻艺术家价格上涨过快有什么风险？什么是一级市场和二级市场？在贝氏艺讯播客第二期的拍卖专题，我们与藏家Howard Rachofsky和高古轩画廊的副总监Sophia Cohen聊了聊那些业内人士关心的话题和建议。聊聊艺术拍卖的一般常识和行业奥秘，欢迎在各平台订阅“贝氏艺讯播客”（The Baer Faxt Podcast），来听听内行人士的建议！

What’s it like to spend millions of dollars at a contemporary art auction? Is there a danger zone where young artists’ prices blow up too quickly? Is it still possible to buy low and sell high? And just what is an auction guarantee anyway?

Step behind closed doors into the hidden world of auctions with veteran art advisor Josh Baer and our friends, Dallas-based collector Howard Rachofsky and Gagosian Gallery Associate Director Sophia Cohen, as we discuss the auction topics you won’t hear about anywhere else. 

Join us as Howard tells the stories behind his biggest sales and his biggest acquisitions: the guarantee deal on his $25 million Jeff Koons Balloon Flower; and the bidding war over a Lucio Fontana masterpiece that’s now one of the central works in his collection. 

Afterwards, we sit down with Sophia Cohen, who shares her unique perspective as an artist liaison and young collector on the love-hate relationship between auction records and the market for works coming straight from the artist’s studio. 

And as the May auction season approaches in New York, remember: Don’t transact without The Baer Faxt, the only report on who bought what in the auction saleroom.
